Mr.
Johnson, Mr Carlin, and two other dads are putting up a tarp.
We arrived after dark on Friday the 18. The start of the trip was not encouraging, since it rained part of the way. But there was no rain in camp, and we pitched our tents on a dry site.
First thing in the morning, the dads started to help. Mr.
Johnson, Mr Carlin, and two other dads are putting up a tarp.
It did not take long before the troop started some serious advancement
activities.
Mr Fairhurst gives some knot-tying lessons

water activities. Mr Couture is taking photos of the swimming area.
Other Scouts, assisted by Explorer Post 208, took part oin canoeing and kayaking activities.

Assistant Scoutmaster John Harrison tested the limits of his four wheel drive. The scouts helped him out.
Mr. Harrison finally took a break from his ordeal.
After
dark, the troop held a string burning competition. Here you can see the
winning team of Sheldon, Cyrus, and John using a strategy of leaves to
make a fire.
Later, with the help of the wood gathered by Mr. Harrison, the troop
held a campfire by Kerr Lake that undoubtedly could be seen for miles.
